The short version
- Only Dify has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Dify the free Sandbox plan includes only 200 message credits total and one team member; the $590 per year Professional plan raises that to 5,000 message credits per month, as of August 2026.; Inngest the free Hobby tier pauses function execution entirely once its 50,000 monthly executions are used, rather than allowing pay-as-you-go overage, as of August 2026.
